The Cafe

Gabriella and Taylor were chemists working under a scholarship from the University of New Mexico. When they arrived at the lab, and walked in, their supervisor, Trevor, was getting onto them.

"Gabriella, did you finish that research report?" Trevor asked her. Gabriella shook her head "no".

"I told you that you had to have this due by Monday! It's Tuesday, Gabriella! What have you been doing?" he yelled.

"I've been working on it at home and here at the lab. I'm almost done I just have to get one more piece of information." Gabriella explained.

"And Taylor. Did you finish your Chlorine examination project? It was due last Friday." Trevor said, getting on to Taylor.

"I already finished it and you wouldn't accept it on Friday!" Taylor replied.

"Well then, where is it now?" he asked her.

"In my car."

"THEN GO GET IT!" he yelled.

"Trevor, calm down. Remember your blood pressure!" Gabriella said. Last time he nearly had a heart attack.

"Work on going left, Troy." the coach told him as everyone was leaving the gym. They had just finished basketball practice even though season was over. The coach wanted to keep them in shape.

When they got to the locker room, they all showered, and dressed. Once most of the team had gone, Chad pulled Troy aside to talk.

"Hey Troy. You know that fancy resturant, Viva La France?" Chad asked him.

"Yeah" Troy replied.

"You wanna come with me, Taylor, Kelsi, Jason, Sharpay and Zeke?"

"Is she going to be there?" Troy put alot of emphasis "she".

"What 'she'?"

"G-G-Gabriella she."

"Oh. No way man. We don't want to let your heart break once again."

"Ok then. I guess I'll go."

Chad and Troy grabbed their bags and went to their cars.

"So, Gabriella. You wanna come with me, Chad, Kelsi, Jason, Sharpay and Zeke to Viva La France?" Taylor asked her.

"I don't know. I don't wanna be a seventh wheel."

"It won't matter. It just matters if you come. Please come!"

"Is he going to be there?" Gabbi put emphasis on "he".

"Troy? No! I wouldn't let your heart break again!"

"Then I guess I'll go." Gabriella and Taylor smiled. A few minutes later their watch alarms went off. It was their lunch break. They told Trevor that they'd be back in an hour and he just nodded. They got into Taylor's car and went to the Cafe. When they got their table, Gabriella ordered water and Taylor ordered a Sprite. Gabbi got the cheeseburgerwith a s ide of fries and Taylor got chicken wings and fries. When their food came, the waitress blocked Gabriella's view of the man walking in. Who just happened to be...Troy. When the waitress left, they caught sight of each other and looked away.

"What?" Taylor asked. She looked up and saw Troy still staring at Gabriella. Taylor got up and walked over to him. Gabriella looked at them talking. She wanted to know what they were saying. She hoped Taylor wasn't trying to get him to hook up with her again. Taylor came back, bringing Troy along with her. Troy sat across from Gabriella. He ordered a medium-rare steak and a coke.

"Hey Gabriella." Troy mumbled.

"Hi." Gabriella murmured back. They kept sneaking glances at each other. When Troy's food came he stuffed his mouth.

"Troy, you are such a pig!" Taylor exclaimed, which made Gabbi look up at him and laugh. His mouth was full of food. He chewed, swallowed, and blushed pink feeling embarresed.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be back." Taylor stated, grabbed her purse, and was about to walk away before Gabriella grabbed her shirt and pulled her back.

"Don't leave me alone with him!" Gabriella whispered.

"I'll only be 2 minutes!" Taylor whispered back. Gabriella let her friend go.

"So..." Troy said. "I'm..really...sorry." he said slowly.

"For what?" she asked like she didn't know. But she did know.

"Well...you know. For accusing you of...cheating on me." Gabriella wasn't taken aback.

"You should be sorry. You knew I wasn't cheating." Gabriella started up.

"And I'm sorry for almost forcing you to move in with me. I was just so ready, and I thought you would be too."


Oh I'm evil. Cliffhanger! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
